Ans. Yes.
(b)Is it the same as one made by Rohini?
Ans. Now
(c)Is there some way to say in what way these shapes are different?
Ans.These shapes differ in angles.
(d)Mohini tried again but got different shapes. Guess and make two more shapes Mohini could have made.
Ans. Mohini could make following shapes.
(e) Look at the angles marked in these shapes. Can you see the difference?

Angle Tester
1.How do we make equal angles?
Ans. We can use the divider from the geometry box to make equal angles. Measure an angle with the help of the divider and make another angle of equal measurement. The divider is also called the angle tester.
2.How can you make your own angle tester?
Ans. For this, you need following materials; cardboard strips, drawing pins or split pin.Take two cardboard strips of same size. Join their one ends with the help of the drawing pin or split pin. Move the strips from joint so that they can freely rotate. Your angle tester is ready.

1.Sukhman made this picture with so many angles.
Use colour pencils to mark.
•Right angles with black colour.
•Angles which are more than a right angle with green.
•Angles which are less than a right angle with blue.
Ans. In the given picture:
•Right angles are shown by the letter ‘R’.
•Angles which are tnore than the right angle are shown by the letter ‘O’.
•Angles which are less than the right angle are shown by the letter ‘L’.
2.Draw anything of your choice around the angle shown. Also write what kind of angle it is. The first one is done.
Ans.
(a) Table Lamp (Right angle)
(b)Roof (More than right angle)
(c)Flip on mobile phone (More than right angle)
(d)Bird’s beak (less than right angle)

Activity
1.Collect some leaves from the garden. Colour each leaf and print it. Look at the angles on the leaves. Which of them are more or less than a right angle?
Ans. Collect leaves of different kind. Apply some paint on them and take the print on paper. With the help of a divider and protractor, measure the angles.Look for the birds which have beaks with small angles.
2.In the picture, mark angles between the two branches. Which two branches have the biggest angle?
Ans. Birds shown by p, q and r have beaks with small angles.
Branches shown by A and B have the biggest angles.
